Three years ago, a friend at the time was heavy into RobinHood, reddit and all of the trading drama. For yucks and grins I put some money into AMC and ended up making about 10k. I wouldn't dare do that now though. That's sort of an "inside, but outside" trade that has less than nothing to do with fundamentals.

The cat may or may not have actually played the fiddle. The answer to this question is lost to the mists of time.

BTW, the 18th century meaning of diddle was
the act of getting “money or some advantage from somebody by cheating them”, or “wasting time without having a purpose.”
